Gabrielson is an old friend of Turrell\u2019s from Pasadena and, like Turrell, also a pilot. The prospect of meeting the artist was quite exciting and arranging it took some patience. Michael Bond, who managed Turrell\u2019s projects around the world, was encouraging. He sent me to Los Angeles to look at one of the artist\u2019s pieces in a private collection there, The Second Meeting, and eventually I found myself on my way to Flagstaff, AZ. The time I spent studying Turrell\u2019s work had only increased my sense of his unique place in the art world. I met the artist at his studio on his ranch some thirty miles outside of Flagstaff.<\/em>&#8216; [1]<\/p>\n<p>[1]&nbsp;<a title=\"Conversations.org\" href=\"The interview was held by Richard Whittaker on February 13 in 1999. http:\/\/conversations.org\/story.php?sid=32\">http:\/\/conversations.org\/story.php?sid=32<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","artist":[],"streams":[2],"keywords":[2083,2084],"decade":[5543],"media":[],"class_list":["post-2570","document","type-document","status-publish","hentry","streams-motion-duration-illumination","keywords-interview","keywords-turrell","decade-1990s"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/2570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/document"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/2570\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=2570"},{"taxonomy":"streams","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/streams?post=2570"},{"taxonomy":"keywords","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/keywords?post=2570"},{"taxonomy":"decade","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/decade?post=2570"},{"taxonomy":"media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artelectronicmedia.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?post=2570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
